Anyone been and back yet?
don:
Beer and?
Jimbo:
embroidery, obviously!
Gavlah1973:
First confirmed sighting of Vlad the black vampire dog wins a free Mythos (must be photographic evidence)
Jimbo:
Vlad* is a descendent of Κυων Χρυσεος, the Golden Hound who guarded the baby Zeus, and cannot be photographed. He watches over from the constellation Canis Major. A mere attempt to capture this sublime entity on camera will result in you being renamed "Don" and having to watch every Stoke City match.
In case you're new to this forum and think we're all insane - yep - you worked it out!
__________________________________________________________________________
* Footnote: Vlad is a mysterious large black dog which is rumoured to lurk through the village at night. He has allegedly been spotted in the vicinity of Romanza and passing through Athina. He is said to have a particular passion for Kumquat Marmalade, probably because the quantity thereof has been in ancient times a contentious feature of the Romanza breakfast. Scholars suggest that Vlad may, in fact, be a scruffy black mongrel which has been elevated to mythic status by visitors who have spotted him after a night in the Condor Bar. Some regular visitors to Agios Stephanos, however, assert that Vlad is an elemental being who possesses those who see him. A scientific team is expected to investigate the phenomenon in 2011 and publish a paper provisionally entitled "Vlad The Black Dog in relation to Classical Studies and the Metaxa Dream."
